Intended Audience Dymax prepared this user guide for experienced process engineers, technicians, and manufacturing personnel. If you are new to UV light sources and do not understand the instructions, contact Dymax Application Engineering to answer your questions before using the equipment. -
Page 5: Product Overview
Product Overview Description of UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyors Dymax UVCS LED light-curing conveyor systems use high-intensity light sources for fast curing of light- curable materials. UVCS bench-top conveyors can be outfitted with BlueWave® AX-550 LED flood systems available in one of three different wavelengths (365, 385, or 405 nm). The flood system consists of two main components: an LED flood array and a power supply that contains the user interface. -

Page 9: Flood System Installation
UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide Flood System Installation You will need to use the supplied Hex wrench and a small Philips screwdriver to install the BlueWave® AX- 550 systems. All configurations have the cradle pre-assembled at the factory. Emitters are installed onto the cradle first and locked in place by screws prior to installing controllers. - Page 10 UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide Two Flood System Two flood system configurations use a dual-emitter base structure to provide the best uniformity of UV energy at the target. The dual emitter can be configured in perpendicular or in-line with the conveyor travel direction.
- Page 11 UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide Perpendicular Dual-Head Emitter For the best installation, it is recommended that the dual-head emitter be assembled with two controllers on the bare cradle. 1. Remove any shielding plates by removing the four mounting screws from the cradle and set aside.
- Page 12 UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide 3. Lower the two controllers onto the emitters carefully (Figure 10). Figure 10. Lower Controllers onto Emitters 4. Install one screw on either side of the forward body of the emitter. Figure 11. Install Screws...

Page 18: Operating The Conveyor
UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide Operating the Conveyor The conveyor and the BlueWave® AX-550(s) each have a power cable that needs to be plugged into a wall outlet. The flood lamps have a power switch located on the top of the unit. The conveyor also has a power switch, located on the front panel. -
Page 19: Led System Height Adjustment
UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide LED System Height Adjustment The conveyor system uses a simple height management structure using a specially designed cradle and carriage system for ease of height adjustment. The main parts are shown below. Figure 29. Height Management Structure... - Page 20 UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide Height Range and Working Distance Height Range The conveyor tunnel clearance height maximum is 4.5” (114 mm) when the cradle is all the way up. When the cradle is all the way down the conveyor tunnel clearance is 1.5” (75 mm).

Page 22: Validation
UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide Validation Tests should be conducted prior to production to determine the time and light intensity required to fully cure your resin. The following approaches may be used to validate the curing process. Set Exposure Time, Determine Intensity Users can specify an exposure time and, through empirical testing, determine the intensity required and duration of exposure to achieve a full cure. - Page 23 UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide Figure 32. Two M4x8 Figure 33. M4x25 Screw Figure 34. Three M4x8 Screws Screws 4. Remove all tension from the belt by fully backing off the belt-tension adjustment knobs (Figure 31). 5.

Ultraviolet (UV) - The invisible region of the spectrum just beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelength ranges in general from 1.0 to 400 nm. Dymax Arrays do not radiate energy in deep ultraviolet; there are very minute amounts below 220 nm and practically nothing can be sensed below 200 nm. This is due to the use of ozone-blocking quartz bulb envelope (See Ozone). -
